Keyshia Cole Releases Steady Flow of #1 Hits

KEYSHIA COLE REGAINS THE #1 SPOT ON BILLBOARD'S 'HOT R&B/HIP-HOP SONGS' AND 'HOT R&B/HIP-HOP AIRPLAY' CHARTS WITH HER 3rd SINGLE 'HEAVEN SENT' FROM THE PLATINUM-PLUS DISC 'JUST LIKE YOU'

'Heaven Sent' Makes Keyshia's 7th #1 Song At Radio

SANTA MONICA, Calif., July 16 /PRNewswire/ --

Definitely avoiding the sophomore jinx, Grammy-nominated and award-winning Geffen Records superstar singer/songwriter, Keyshia Cole, continues to deliver the hits with her third (3rd) #1 single, "Heaven Sent," from her near-double-platinum-selling sophomore album, Just Like You. "Heaven Sent" currently sits atop Billboard's "Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs" and "Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay" charts.


The coveted #1 spot is nothing new to the chart-topping Oakland native as "Heaven Sent" follows two (2) #1 singles from Just Like You: "Let It Go," and "I Remember." The single is the 7th #1 hit song at radio from Keyshia Cole over the past two years. Other #1s include "Love" and "I Should Have Cheated" from her platinum-selling debut The Way It Is, and the collaborations, "Last Night" and "Give It Up To Me," with Diddy and Sean Paul respectively.


Keyshia Cole is currently in the studio recording her third (3rd) yet-untitled CD to be released late 2008 and is gearing up for a soon-to-be announced tour. While she will soon start taping the 3rd season of her hit BET reality show, "The Way It Is," the second (2nd) season is the highest rated program in the network's history. The straight-from-the-soul singer is also gearing up to shoot a film based on her life and while recording her third (3rd) disc, a tenacious Keyshia Cole, takes time out to crisscross the globe with shows from Jamaica to Kansas City.
